Weight in air and water, image 2 of 2. This kilogram mass is surrounded by water. It is hanging from a newtonmeter, which shows that it has a weight of newtons. Weighed in air, its mass was newtons. This reduction in weight is due to the upthrust force of water. For the same mass weighed in air, see image A350/192.
